Emne: Re: [Free-cad-development] xbim
Hi,
Thanks for the link, I didn't know that project...
Actually what we use in the Arch workbench is IfcOpenShell http://www.ifcop=
enshell.org/
As far as I can see the main functionality of xbim is to provide IFC import=
and export, which is exactly what ifcopenshell does/will do (export is bei=
ng implemented right now)
Looking at the code, xbim seems more mature than ifcopenshell, but it also =
looks pretty windows-only... There might also be license compatibility issu=
es. So we're probably better
with ifcopenshell, not to mention the good and productive relationship we h=
ave with its author.
Anyway, it's thrilling to see all those IFC-based project appearing... This=
really shows that the opensource world has chosen its side in the pro IFC =
/ against IFC debate...
Cheers
Yorik
